Oh would-be lover, I entreat
No more of your rough-hewn poems without meat
I tire of this naïve talk of the moon
And how you swoon
It’s altogether too jejune

Oh would-be lover, I entreat
No more of your rough-hewn poems without meat
I tire of this naïve talk of the moon
And how you swoon
It’s altogether too jejune
30 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Jejune
Jejune. July. Never care
Winter here. Summer there
Not beginning. Nor the end
Christmas? Let us not pretend
Melancholy. Good and bad
Neither happy. Not that sad
And still I love you, dear Jejune
Although you will be August soon
Thirty words? Yes understood
Restrict myself? I wish I could
Withhold my passion? Yes I should
That’s sixty for you ….. (twice as good)

I do wonder if it’s the same road. Was yours a hill with a Middleton Crescent at the top?

Ours was indeed, a hill, but with David Place above it. I think it highly unlikely that they were even in the same hemisphere.
